Complaints

THIS IS A POEM BY TRINIDAD TARROSA-SUBIDO.

I

While the enamored stars would dare
Seaward to leap,
Seeking a truer heaven in
The loved deep,
My love so near me on the grass-
What a cowardice!-
Dares not to melt his mouth upon
My waiting kiss.

II.

I cannot understand, O moon,
Cloud-kissed now and then,
You still remain unsullied
Before the eyes of men
Who think me now unchastely
A blot upon me thrown,
Seeing my lover's shadow brush
The fringes of my own.
